The Armed Republic of Rousannas is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, sprawling nuclear power plants, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 25.928 billion Rousannasians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rousannas City. The average income tax rate is 3.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rousannasian economy, worth a remarkable 6,343 trillion chiasmatas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 244,668 chiasmatas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

There has been a series of riots between local cannibals and health food advocates, students cut up leftover chiasmatas during Arts and Crafts, public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers, and the nation leads Lazarus in per capita stalking. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Rousannas's national animal is the beagle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
